Description

Semi-aqueous wafer substrate cleaning solution composition and application method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor wafer processing wet electronic chemicals, in particular to a semi-water-based wafer substrate cleaning solution composition suitable for stripping and removing photoresist, photoresist residues and etching residues on a wafer and a using method thereof.
Background
In the back-end of line (back-end of line) fabrication of microelectronic devices with aluminum (Al) or aluminum/copper (Cu) metallized substrates, an essential step is to deposit a photoresist film on a chip substrate, then form a circuit pattern with the photoresist as a Mask, bake, develop, and then transfer the resulting pattern to the underlying substrate material (electrolyte or metal layer) via reactive plasma etching gas. During plasma etching, due to the interaction of the plasma gas, the etching substrate material and the photoresist, etching residues are formed on the sidewall or the periphery of the etching substrate, and the photoresist mask material is crosslinked, so that the photoresist mask material is more difficult to remove.
After the etching is completed, the photoresist mask and the etching residues must be removed from the patterned wafer (pattern wafer) for further processing. Currently, the cleaning step of the Al or Al (Cu) metalized substrate after etching and removing the photoresist mask (ashing) is to use a hydroxylamine cleaning solution, which has the advantage of being able to very effectively remove various insoluble inorganic residues and organic residues. However, the operating temperature of hydroxylamine based cleaning agents is usually above 65 ℃, and hydroxylamine is very unstable and poses the risk of explosion at higher operating temperatures. Meanwhile, the higher operation temperature causes the rapid decomposition of the system composition and the volatilization of moisture, so that the service life (life time) of the hydroxylamine cleaning solution is only about 1000 minutes generally, and the service life of the bath solution needs to be maintained by continuous solution supplement.
In addition, after the pattern wafer after etching and ashing is processed by the hydroxylamine cleaning solution, the pattern wafer needs to be rinsed by deionized water after being rinsed by using organic solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or N-Methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), so as to avoid corrosion to the metal substrate on the surface of the pattern wafer, thereby increasing the wafer manufacturing cost. In addition, the manufacturing and purification process of hydroxylamine has high risk, resulting in a single source of hydroxylamine, and the current electronic grade hydroxylamine is supplied by BASF alone, which is very expensive.
Based on the problems of the prior hydroxylamine cleaning liquid products, the development of a non-hydroxylamine cleaning liquid with excellent cleaning performance, stability and a larger operation window is urgently needed.
